A yoga charity is hosting a series of outdoor sessions on the seafront in Brighton to raise funds for their community outreach project aimed at helping everyone enjoy the benefits of yoga.
Teachers from the Brighton Yoga Foundation will be holding classes on the deck of the city’s British Airways i360 viewing tower, which has beautiful views towards the sea.
Participants pay on a sliding scale from £5 to £15 per class depending on their circumstances, and the charity is hoping to sell out all the classes to raise much needed funds.
Davy Jones, Chair of Trustees for Brighton Yoga Foundation said: “This is a great way for people to enjoy an exciting outdoor yoga class in a fabulous location, while at the same time knowing that they have given the gift of yoga to others”.
The charity’s outreach programme is dedicated to helping people of all backgrounds enjoy the calming and therapeutic benefits of yoga.
They also aim to challenge preconceptions and barriers to taking part in yoga, which include the perception that yoga is for able bodied, healthy individuals only and the rising cost of attending a class in a studio or leisure environment.
Their current projects include chair yoga to cater for those with mobility problems and a female only class suitable for those who have experienced trauma, chronic illness, and mental health challenges.
For more information or to book onto an outdoors class, which take place during May and June, see the Brighton Yoga Foundation website or follow them on Twitter.
